For students starting in the 2014 catalog, UCM’s general education curriculum will include 10 areas of understanding, known as competencies. You will need to complete at least one course from each competency area, though specific requirements vary for each major.

Understand the types of courses in UCM's general education program:

Competency One: Writing with clarity and purpose, using the correct format, structure and documentation.

Competency Two: Presenting and interacting in public, group and interpersonal settings.

Competency Three: Using math and formal reasoning to analyze and draw inferences.

Competency 10: Creating a cumulative work that demonstrates the integration and application of knowledge. (This is met during your major curriculum and is not part of the 42-hour general education program.)
